1 1/2 tsp butter or oil
salt and pepper

Tips for Perfect Microwave Rice:

  • Use the right ratio of water to rice. This will depend on the type of rice you are using, but a good starting point is 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook more evenly.
  • Add salt and butter (optional). This will help flavor the rice.
  • Cover the rice and cook on high power for the recommended time. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice and the amount of rice you are cooking.
  • Let the rice stand for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the water and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Cooking rice in the microwave is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and versatile side dish. By following these simple tips, you can achieve perfect microwave rice every time.

Here are some additional tips for cooking rice in the microwave:

  • If you are using a microwave-safe bowl, make sure that it is large enough to accommodate the rice as it cooks. The rice will expand as it cooks, so it is important to have a bowl that is at least twice the size of the uncooked rice.
  • If you are using a plastic bowl, make sure that it is microwave-safe. Some plastics can melt or release harmful chemicals when heated in the microwave.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rice. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Microwave rice can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stir-fries, soups, and casseroles. It can also be served as a side dish with grilled or roasted meats and vegetables.
